Clay Chiminea large - prev -

Clay chimineas are a great option to have a relaxing outdoor fire. They are a bit more fragile than iron chimineas and need particular attention to ensure that they last for a long period of time.

Fill the chiminea up with sand, 3-4 inches below its mouth. This will shield the chiminea during the first few fires from flame contact and allow it to season.

Material

Chimineas made of clay have been used for about four hundred years to gather for conversation and food, and to keep warm in the home. They are usually constructed from terracotta clay although they are also available in a variety of other materials, like cast aluminum chiminea iron and steel.

Cast iron is more durable than terracotta and is less susceptible to being damaged by abrupt temperature fluctuations. It can crack and break when not shielded from snow or rain. Terracotta is a bit more fragile, but it is a gorgeous material that gives the chiminea a classic Mexican look.

It is important to dry your new clay chiminea prior to using it for the first time. This will stop it from cracking over time from the sudden change in the temperature of the fire. This is accomplished by putting two to three inches (or more) of river sand at the bottom of the chiminea. Then, begin with small pieces of wood and gradually increase the size of the wood you choose to use. After a few minutes of small flames, your clay will be ready for use.

Clay chimineas are typically sealed to stop water from causing damage over time. This is ideal for any fire pit outdoors. However, it is crucial for chimineas made of clay, as the clay absorbs moisture and may crack if exposed to it excessively.

Clay chimineas are less prone to crack than metal chimineas. However, they must be handled with care to avoid moisture damage. Clay chimineas should be kept covered when not in use and they should never be stored inside because repeated exposure to moisture can cause the clay to crumble or crack.

Due to their weight, which is higher than other types of chimineas, clay ones require a solid base made to be used for outdoor fire pits. A hearth for a patio is a great option to accomplish this, since it creates a fire-safe zone on the deck or patio made of wood. The hearth for the patio should be at least 3 feet by 4 feet and can be made of bricks or pavers. If you do not wish to build a hearth to your patio, you could simply place the chiminea on a flat area of garden soil. This is not recommended as it is likely to break or crack in the course of time.

Size

Chimineas are becoming increasingly popular. They create a tranquil ambience outdoors, and also generate heat. This makes them perfect for cooking or just enjoying the company of family and friends. They are available in various sizes and styles, ranging from traditional clay to modern cast iron or stainless steel. They are among the most versatile garden tools available and can be used for a variety of purposes including heating, cooking lighting, and decoration.

Chimineas can be quite fragile and susceptible to cracking due to the fact that they are able to withstand changes in temperature and moisture therefore it is crucial to take care of them in a timely manner. It is always an excellent idea to purchase a cover for them, because it will shield them from damage caused by rain, which can cause them to shrink and crack over time. It's also a good idea to put some Gardeco lava stone or 50mm of sand at bottom of your chimenea. This will shield it from direct heat and prevent the hot part from directly touching the clay, which can cause it crack.

A cap made of clay is a great idea as it can prevent water seepage, which could cause them to weaken over time and crack. The clay capped chimeneas are a bit more expensive than those that are not capped, but they are worth the investment because it will significantly prolong their lifespan. It is also a good idea to keep them away from objects that are flammable because this could lead to an accident. It is also important to avoid placing them in areas that are windy because this can cause smoke to move in directions that are not intended, which could make it difficult to use.

It is also a good idea, to seal your chimenea by using Butchers' wax or Future floor wax at least twice per year. This will help protect the clay against the elements and make it more resistant to warping and cracking.

Some chimineas come with extra features, such as side tables for food preparation, which allow you to transform your fire into a centre of gastronomic activities.

Install your chiminea on an unfinished concrete, brick, or stone patio once you've found the perfect place.

It's a good idea not to place the chimney close to eaves or other structures overhead since they could catch fire.

Fill the bowl of your clay chiminea to approximately 3 inches below the mouth. This will keep the area that is hot from flames and prevent it from damaging the clay. The next step is to create a small fire with paper and kindling. Let it burn until it is gone naturally.
